Always My Son

Always My Son

Ten years ago today you came into this world,
A bouncing baby boy, Seth was your name.
You are my son, a part of me, and that will never change,
No matter what you do in life my love will still remain.
I held you as a baby boy and I looked into your face,
And I knew then, no other one could ever take your place.
I knew then as I held you, you would grow to be a man,
And anything you did in life I’d try to understand.
I knew you would make choices and would follow your own heart,
I only prayed that in your life I’d always have a part.
I know this life's not perfect and we do the best we can,
Just realize I love you and I’ll always understand.
I knew one day you would grow up and you would leave my nest,
I will do what I can for you and let God do the rest.
I have held you in my arms and done the best I can,
Now I pray that God will hold you as you become a man.
Just remember in my heart you are a special one,
And I will always proudly tell the world, "this is my son."

For Seth Michael May 10, 1998

Happy Birthday! You are loved and missed by many.
